EDM (electrical discharge machining)AgieCharmilles wire-cutting, die-sinking

and hole-drilling machines.

For over 60 years we have been at the forefront of every EDM development:

designing and refining the EDM process and building machine tools that de-

liver peerless part accuracies, surface finishes, cutting speeds and process

reliability. Today, our AgieCharmilles wire-cutting, die-sinking and hole-drill-

ing machines are recognized throughout the world as the best in the business.

Our continuous research and development in digital generator technology,

control systems and integrated Automation systems are evidence of our com-

mitment to keeping your EDM operations on the leading edge of technology.

MillingMikron high-speed (HSM), high-performance (HPM)

and high-efficiency (HEM) Milling centers.

Customers operating in the mold, tool and die and precision component

manufacturing sectors stake their reputations on being able to quickly and

cost-competitively meet their customers’ demands. That’s why they invest

in Mikron machines. Incorporating the latest and most advanced technolo-

gies and premium-performance components, Mikron HSM, HPM and HEM

machines help you increase your production capabilities and improve your

productivity. Designed and built for speed, accuracy and reliability, the ma-

chines, like you, are proven performers.

Liechti Dedicated Aerospace and Energy machining Centers.

Aerospace and power generation turbine manufacturers increasingly turn

to Liechti dedicated five- and six-axis machining centers to machine com-

plex, high-precision airfoils on blades, disks, blings, blisks / IBRs and impel-

lers. It’s easy to see why because these machines, with their specific profile

machining technology, specialized CAD / CAM software and engineering

competence for ultra-dynamic machining in titanium, Inconel, nimonic, ti-

tanium-aluminide and high-alloy steels, yield productivity gains as much

as 30 percent, thanks to reduced machining times. In the globally competi-

tive aerospace and power generation manufacturing sector, that’s definitely

worth shouting about.

Step-Tec Spindles.

At the heart of every Mikron machining center is high-performance Step-

Tec Spindle. Step-Tec Spindles are essential core components of our ma-

chining centers. Highly accurate and thermally stable Step-Tec Spindles

ensure that our machines can handle everything from heavy-duty roughing

to fine-finishing operations.

AutomationSystem 3R Automation, Tooling and software.

Productivity is the key to manufacturing success, and automating a manu-

facturing process is a proven method of increasing its efficiency, effective-

ness, quality and reliability. System 3R’s integrated Automation, Tooling and

software solutions — simple workpiece pallet and electrode changers and

flexible manufacturing and robot handling systems — increase your com-

petitive advantage.

Customer ServicesOperations Support, Machine Support and Business Support.

To help you get the most and the best from your machine tools and equip-

ment, we offer three levels of support. Operations Support covers our range

of original wear parts and certified consumables (EDM wires, filters, resins,

electrodes etc.) to ensure that your machines are performing at the highest

levels. Machine Support maximizes, through our best-in-class technical sup-

port, preventive services and quality spare parts, your machine tool uptime.

Business Support is designed to help you make a real step-change in your

productivity and performance with solutions tailored to your specific needs.

LaserAgieCharmilles Laser texturing machines.

Laser texturing is a fully-digitized surface engineering process that has

huge potential. The technology enables precise 2D and 3D textures or

engravings to be machined accurately and directly onto complex parts or

molds to improve and alter their aesthetic appeal, functionality and

performance. The process is infinitely repeatable and offers many distinct

environmental and economic advantages over conventional texturing

processes.

Laser Additive Manufacturing (AM).

GF Machining Solutions has partnered with EOS, the global leader for

high-end AM solutions, to integrate this innovative technology and further

develop it into its current solutions to fully benefit the mold industry, by fo-

cusing on injection efficiency : optimized cooling design to reduce cycle

time, lower energy consumption, higher quality of plastic parts.
